I am having a problem with my rear axel and tire right side sliding in and out about 3in right now. I found this out when I was using the scrape blade. Before I tear into it, has anyone had this happen to them and if you did what to fix it? I have a manual on it to go by. But it is better when you know what to expect. Thanks

Hello,
In my nearly 30 years with MF's it is not a problem that I have encountered and I don't think many other people will have either. One thing is for sure you must not use it any more as it is. The first thought is that the bearing cage has collapsed and the rollers are either lost or running together.
Support the centre housing securely with an additional support under the axle housing. Disconnect the brake rod and remove the nuts from around the hub. The studs may come out as well. Support the back-plate and withdraw the shaft and hub. The hub is held in place by a shrink-on collar. This should still be in place. Drill the collar parallel to the shaft with a 5/16 drill and use a chisel over the hole to 'split' it. Normally a special puller is required to pull the hub off but we have removed them by driving the inner end of the shaft onto a very heavy steel block. You may be lucky. If the bearing has collapsed this may not work and you will need the puller. With the hub removed inspect for damage in all areas. Fitting is straight forward. Normally a piece of steel tube is satisfactory to 'bump' the bearing into place. Apply plenty of grease to the bearing and inner and outer seals. You will however need some means of heating the new collar to cherry red. You will only have one chance to do this so make sure it is hot enough but not red hot. Normally shims are removed to obtain the correct end float on the axle shafts. It is helpful to have the other wheel clear of the ground so that there is no inward pressure on it.
Refit the shaft using at least 3 equally spaced studs and tighten. The correct clearance os 2 to 4 thousandths of an inch. If you are unable to measure this it will be a case of adding or removing shims to get the shaft free to turn but without any endfloat. Be patient this may need to be done several times. Once you have it, check that the backplate is on in the correct position and finally tighten. Cheers
